I  was delighted to be  able to  launch the 2014 round of the Sports Capital Programme earlier this year.  €40 million is available  for allocation.
 
The 2,036 applications received under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme are currently being assessed  by officials in  my Department.   Every application  will be  assessed by one official and reviewed by another.   Given the number of applications received and the detail contained therein,  this process takes a number of months to complete.   I hope to announce allocations in the next number of weeks.
